Baxi instant 105e manual water release (im in trouble)

why will it piddle forever once is closed of its closed off better than having a soddin leaky drain valve that will need sealing.

50/50, if there's debris in the system the valve will never seat properly again and leak, why mess with the boiler at all when you can simply drop it through a rad bleed?

'fraid so Doyle - you should never rely on a safety discharge valve resealing.

Use item No.7 on ChrisRs drawing, it has a white knob and a drain point underneath, drop pressure to 1bar cold.

Hi.

Now I'm just confused as hell....
C'mon take a vote:

No:1 Drain at rad
No:2 Twist No 7

Cheers

Use boiler drain point or rad.

Only use prv is you have a replacement.

Its not rocket science - only common sense.

I went to oine today where the Polish builder had used the prv of a Vaillant (one of the TurboMaxs'). Its going to be £25 or so for the part 'cos it's the one before they started using rebranded Calefi valves.

See recent thread for pics ofthis lovely installation by the way.
